Abstract

Google Earth Outreach helps non-profit and public benefit groups put their data online in a geographic context using Google Earth and Maps. This improves their outreach and communication with the world, and can effectively impact policy and public understanding of science. We will explore several exceptional examples that use Google Earth and Maps to display scientific data and share it with the world. You will learn what is necessary to get started on building your Earth or Maps application, which can allow your colleagues or the public to access, explore, and understand your data.
